YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR COUNCIL TAX WHEN YOUR PROPERTY IS EMPTY
This affects all landlords who rent a property in Northampton, excluding Grange Park.
From 01 April 2013, Northampton BC will be charging Council Tax on empty properties in the borough. Currently, if a property is empty and unfurnished, no Council Tax is charged for the first 6 months. This is changing so Council Tax will be payable by the LANDLORD, for any period where the property is empty. This includes if the property is undergoing refurbishment.
Further details on this can be found on the Council Website: http://www.northampton.gov.uk/ct-exemption-discounts2013
As far as we understand South Northants Council (Grange Park) do not intend to go down this route at this stage.
